Course overview

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that occurs due to pancreas beta cell destruction and insulin deficiency. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes result from high levels of blood glucose which is also known as hyperglycemia. Type 1 diabetes generally begins in children and adolescents however can also develop later on in adults. The etiology of type 1 diabetes remains unknown however it is widely believed to develop because of T cell-mediated destruction of beta cells and autoantibody activity that affect the production of insulin. Environmental triggers and genetic factors will influence the type of autoantibody that influences disease progression. A cure for diabetes is currently not available and disease management depends on lifelong insulin injections. Varied approaches to insulin administration may be introduced to type 1 diabetics, including continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pumps. Treatment options related to type 1 diabetes and several case studies are discussed. No Test Required!
